Read MoreWhat America Needs
by Ken Weliever During the past couple of days, I’ve been listening to politicians, political pundits, and experts from various fields discuss the “why” of the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas that snuffed out the lives of 19 innocent little children.

Read MoreWhy Do We Keep Letting This Happen?
by Terry Wane Benton Why? “Why do we keep letting this happen?” You cannot control human hearts. From the heart proceed murders and all manner of sin (Mark 7:21-23).

Read MoreIs God telling me to kill everyone around me?
Question: I am really struggling with worry. My biggest worry in life is ending up in hell. I read lots of questions and answers on your site, and it makes me more worried than ever. I wish I knew what the to-do list was for each day. So as long as somebody follows the to-do…
Read MoreHow could someone become a mass murderer and not feel bad about it?
Question: Hello, I have a question regarding evil. Are people born evil or does life make them that way? I ask because I was reading this case of a serial killer in Ukraine who killed 52 people. How does someone become this twisted and not feel bad about it? I know it’s not right to…
